Do the individual photons slow down? No. But those photons get absorbed by atoms along the way and then a new photon of light is emitted (nearly, but not literally, instantly) which then continues along it's merry way at C until it encounters another atom. What slows down is the net speed of transport through a given medium.

When I lived about 20 minutes away from Washington, D.C. in the late 2010s I was paying ~$1700/month for a single bedroom apartment D=

IMO the point is more that this article IS talking about someone specifically in Shenzen, and a report (PDF) I found shows that the average monthly cost for a 1 bedroom apartment in the city center is just over $800 USD a month with a monthly salary for English teachers of about $2,900 USD a month as of 2020. Sources are at the bottom of the PDF.

However, a report from the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the leak didn’t come from within Paramount but from a hacker from PeggleCrew—the same troupe behind an infamous 2016 cyberattack on the hosting website FossHub.

I'm guessing the crime is how they got the movie.

According to the publication, police discovered that the leaker gained unauthorized remote access to the server on which the animated film was stored, leading him to allegedly download and upload clips of the film online.

This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US then this would be unlawful access of a computer system.

It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

I hope they bring some vibe coded, 3d-printed anti-air defense missiles with them!

Naw he's just the ElectroBOOM of computers. Intentionally does shit wrong to show people how not to do things.

Yeah, it's that consumer label that confuses me. Like, I doubt too many businesses are buying $54 USD Netgear WAPs, and their language specifically included SoHo stuff iirc.

I'm curious about standalone WAPs, not existing all-in-ones put into WAP mode. I'm guessing they just don't fall under the "consumer" umbrella even though they are pretty cheap (this netgear is $54 USD on amazon)
